Summary:                    Large list of recording files produces delay on
incoming calls on queues
Description: 
Having a directory with a lot of recording files delays audio on queues
with recordings enabled. 
It seems that asterisk tries to access the directory containing all the
recordings before passing audio, causing big delay on the incoming audio.
Running "ls" command on that directory produces the same delay before
seeing the list of files.
Moving the files out of the monitor directory fixes the problem.

russell, thank you for your answer. I thought about what you say before
adding this problem, but I wanted to write it anyways because it took me a
lot of time before I realized what was causing this problem.
By the way, I don't know if it is OK that "creating a file to start
writing the recording" should add delay in the audio of the incoming call.
It's like audio won't pass until the file for the recording is created, is
this correct?
I think it's better to loose 5 seconds of audio in the recording and not
the call itself (5 sec of silence is enough to hung up a call). I don't
know if this is possible to do, but it's how it should work on extreme
cases.
